Re: [Printing-user-general] resolution limit due to kernel issues?

Hi Michael,

I downloaded the clp-510 Linux driver package from the Samsung web site. As
you mention, the resolution limitation has been placed into a CUPS filter
named "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 ppmtosplc".

The PostScript PPD file for the printer lists support for 300 DPI, 600 DPI,
and 1200 DPI but the PPD calling the filter script only supports 600 DPI.

I would therefore conclude that Samsung support would probably be a good
place to begin pursuing a CUPS enhancement as they would most likely be best
positioned to find a method for updating the filter script to support the
higher resolution.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
